The Great Black Hope

[WLAD OWNS]

the thing is, everyone is saying at how much the heavyweight division sucks, well look at what race and ethnicity are dominating it. The Klitschko's, Chagaev and Maskaev. These guys aren't as enertaining to the public as Tyson, Lewis and Bowe. Tony Thompson is the top (ranked) heavyweight in America right now, let's see how he does with the WBO.

Wlad is loved by Americans and he is entertaining because he knocks everyone out. However, I do agree that guys like Maskaev, Ibragimov, and Chagaev aren't as marketable to the public because they are humble strong, silent type warriors. I'm sure Americans would like them more if they ****d women,did drugs,broke the law and said things like they want to eat people's children because Americans can RELATE to that.

So sad... Because it's so true...

You keep saying you want someone to DOMINATE.. his name is Wlad.. and he is so dominant he makes everyone who fights him look like CRAP.. yet he is TOO nice to market.. SO that even when he Beats the ring Champ.. he does not get called the ring Champ.. and we are apparently still searching and will be till the Champ is American...

I second that. People want a good AMERICAN heavyweight.

People just want a good heavyweight PERIOD!!!!

If anyone thinks guys like the current crop of even the Champions are good they are limited on boxing knowledge. Sultan, Ruslan, Oleg, all pathetic and eaten alive in any other era.

Even Wlad who I am a fan of but will be honest. In any other era is just a quality contender.

No black people aren't and EVERYONE is just hoping for a Heavyweight to take the division and put it under it's wing, whether the person be black white brown or yellow, well as long as they are American.

That's a bigger problem than race. Why does he have to be American? And how could this be different than racism? IT'S NOT

We have a dominant heavy; he's a big Ukraine with a PhD and the best offensive arsenal in the history of boxing. Who cares where he's from?

This thread is definitely a contentious bait with racist overtones, as evidenced by this lethargically thought out post.

It's easy to glorify the past, but George Foreman was a crude slugger compared to Wlad, Holmes was a slow little man with no power next to him.

Sorry, the complaints are baseless, and disguised racism and xenophobia. Maybe not exactly on your part, but that's what they usually are.

Anyone who cant accept the Dominance of Wladimir Klitschko or Realise that it would there in any era.. Is obviously RACIST.. what else can your reasons for denial be?.. So he got Ko'd a couple times.. So did Lewis so did Louis.. so Did Tyson.... But they are warriors for rising above ther adversity..wlad is just a fool who doesn't know when it's time to quit..

**** off the both of you.. You cant stand to see white guy KO a black guy.. It's the only reason that makes any sense..
